Effect of insulin and acute diabetes on plasma FFA and ketone bodies in the fasting rat

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The metabolism of FFA and ketone bodies was studied in fasted rats by infusing at a constant rate tracer amounts of FFA-3H, β-hydroxybutyrate-14C or acetoacetate-14C for periods up to 2 hr. Blood that was removed for analyses was replaced by continuous transfusion. The rates of turnover of FFA, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetoacetate in rats fasted for 2 days were, respectively, 3.2, 5.6, and 2.5 μmoles/100 g body weight per min.
